Help Ting keep the the Thursday Table pantry stocked

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Sunday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 281 each week. Donations have dropped by about 47% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Québec market and keep every receipt. Each $30 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $2,250 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $790 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $860 • Baby formula and diapers: $320 • Refrigeration and electricity: $280 Thanks for being kind about this. - Ting

        Stay strong, Ting. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Moscow donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
